Abstract
After discussing the relevance of single-W and single-Z production processes at hadron colliders, we review the theoretical knowledge of Drell-Yan physics and present some preliminary results on the combination of electroweak and QCD corrections to a sample of observables of the process pp → W ± →± + X at the LHC Our phenomenological analysis shows that a high-precision knowledge of QCD and a careful combination of electroweak and strong contributions is mandatory in view of the anticipated LHC experimental accuracy.File in questo prodotto:
